"It was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth, should he be proved innocent of the crime of aspiring to one so far above him; and the princess hated her"

Because of her jealousy, her decision could come out rash and end up killing her lover unless her love for him is stronger.

"Half the audience had not known so grand a youth had lived among them. No wonder the princess loved him! What a terrible thing for him to be there!"

This impacts the outcome because if the audience had thought that he was innocent then maybe someone would of not looked at him when the princess gave him the signal and caught them cheating.

"she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong."

The princess was deeply in love with the guy, but was also somewhat barbaric. This made her jealous and possessive, like her father.

" but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy."

This jealousy may have lead the princess to chose the tiger over the woman

Quote: " but she knew who the lady was. It was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth...hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy... she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight"

This quote impacts characterization because this jealousy of the princess could result to the man getting murdered by the tiger because she would rather have him with the tiger eaten than living and watching her lover and enemy together.

Quote: He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself this thing, hidden to all other lookers-on, even to the king.

"It was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth, should he be proved innocent of the crime of aspiring to one so far above him; and the princess hated her."

This shows that she gets jealous easily and she needs the love to be stronger

"As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity."

This love and obsession for his daughter is the reason the trial is happening.

"She hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind that silent door."

"She" is the princess and the above quote shows us that she had extreme jealousy and hate for that woman. Noting her semi-barbaric nature, we can infer that her decisions are usually based on the feelings she had toward that person.

"This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own. As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity."

This quote impacts the story because if the king loved his daughter that much, he was willing to do anything to keep her safe. And that affected the guy which the princess loved to go into the amphitheater.

"This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most florid fancies, and with a soul as fervent and imperious as his own"

The characterization of the princess being a little bit barbaric might have made her choose the tiger at the end of the story.

"The girl was lovely, but she had dared to raise her eyes to the loved one of the princess; and, with all the intensity of the savage blood transmitted to her through long lines of wholly barbaric ancestors, she hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind that silent door."

This has impacts the outcomes because it shows that the princess is jealous but protective at the same time because of the lady that is standing behind the door because she knows that she will be the one that gets to marry him.

Quote:  It was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth, should he be proved innocent of the crime of aspiring to one so far above him; and the princess hated her.

"This royal maiden was well satisfied with her lover, for he was handsome and brave to a degree unsurpassed in all this kingdom, and she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong."
